Chili Recall - The director of the California Department of Public Health is warning consumers not to eat several canned products manufactured by Castleberry Foods due to possible contamination with the toxin that causes botulism poisoning. The products are labeled with different brand names. One of the products, Castleberry Hot Dog Chili Sauce, has been associated with four cases of botulism in Texas and Indiana. The additional products listed are included in the recall because they may pose a similar risk. No illnesses have been reported in California. The recalled products were sold in supermarkets and club stores throughout the United States and Canada. According to preliminary distribution information from the federal Food and Drug Administration 15-ounce cans of Castleberry's Chili with Beans were distributed to Costco stores in Southern California. State officials say they will work with FDA to determine if any additional products subject to this voluntary recall were distributed elsewhere in California.

Castleberry Foods, based in Augusta, Georgia, is voluntarily recalling:

Castleberry's Hot Dog Chili Sauce, 10 oz can (UPC 3030000101),

Austex Hot Dog Chili Sauce, 10 oz can (UPC 3030099533),

Symptoms of botulism poisoning can begin from six hours to two weeks after eating food that contains the toxin. Symptoms may include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness that moves progressively down the body, affecting the shoulders first then descending to the upper arms, lower arms, thighs, calves, etc. Botulism poisoning can also cause paralysis of the breathing muscles which can result in death unless assistance with breathing (mechanical ventilation) is provided.
